Is it possible to get a generator that would run the entire house? if not what are the limitations? What size generator would I need for this?


Yes it is. I had a 22kw Generac generator installed about 2 months ago. It is a whole house generator, powered by propane. It was installed by Trademark Electric of Ocala. it can also be powered by natural gas.

You will need ARC approval, a permit for the generator installation, and a permit for propane or gas installation. The permits were taken care of by the electrical company and the propane vendor. I took care of the ARC.

You will want to have an automatic transfer switch installed as well . It was part of my package.
